Find the right saw blade for your Festool!
Original Festool saw blades are available online and in depots.
Which saw blade fits my Festool saw?
The Festool Saw Blades Configurator makes is easy to select the correct original Festool saw blade for a specific application, that suits your Festool plunge saw, circular saw, mitre saw, or table saw.
Simply click on the button below that shows your Festool saw, and you'll see the complete range of available Festool saw blades for most cutting applications.
Which saw blade suits my corded Festool TS55 plunge saw, cordless TSC55 plunge saw or cordless HKC55 circular saw? There are various different buttons displayed below for each of these popular Festool saws, and due to the kerf or thickness of the blade, it's important you select the correct model number denoted by the subsequent letters.
The TSC 55 36V Plunge Saw changed in April 2021. Older pre-2021 models, including TS55, TS55 R, TSC55 R, ATF 55 and AP55, have a 2.2mm kerf. The more recent models, including corded TS55 F and 36V cordless TSC55 K - plus the corded HK55 and pre-September 2025 18V cordless HKC55 circular saws, have a 1.8mm blade kerf. More recently, saws with 1.6mm blade kerf have been launched, namely the HKC55 K 18V circular saws in September 2025 and the TS55 KS 18V single battery plunge saw in March 2026.
It's essential you select the correct blade thickness or kerf for safety and compatibility with the riving knife of the saw - so double check the model number of the tool or the blade thickness of the saw blade you're replacing, to ensure the replacement sawblade will suit your Festool saw.
If you're local to a Protrade Depot, why not drop your old saw blade in to be resharpened?

The professionals also share their favourite Festool range tools and why they use them for everyday tasks. This gives you an idea of the most popular Festool tools that are used within different industries.
Are Saw Blades Interchangeable Between Old & New Festool Plunge Saws?
In April 2021, Festool reduced the kerf of their plunge saw blades, on both the corded and corded plunge saws – from 2.2mm to 1.8mm. These thinner blades cut much faster, reduce the load on the saw’s motor and also extends the battery runtime of the cordless saws. Unfortunately, the old and new blades are not interchangeable between old and new models of plunge saws, due to the corresponding thickness of the riving knife, so always check the blade kerf when replacing an old plunge saw blade.

What are the benefits of Festool Dust Extractors and which one do I need?
It’s no surprise that dust is bad for you, and it’s incredibly important that you protect yourself from dust at all times. If you have ever embarked upon a DIY project such as fitting a new kitchen, bathroom, or simply re-decorating, a common complaint is the amount of dust it generates.
Festool has long been regarded as one of the best portable dust extractor manufacturers on the market. Their entire range of power tools always considers the removal of dust at source, and extraction outlets are designed into rather than added on to the tool.
This premium power tool manufacturer regards the dust extractor as the foundation of any power tool system, as it not only promotes safe working but also makes for a convenient transport device once other power tools are secured on top of the extractor using Festool systainers.
If you are using the extractor at construction sites, a smaller and more compact machine is considerably easier to carry. The CTM MIDI or CTM 26 by Festool is suitable for this purpose, for example.
CT-SYS, CTL MINI, or MIDI Festool extractors are recommended for light drilling work, cleaning loose dirt and carrying out repairs or cleaning work at construction sites. To find out more about which class of dust extractor you may need click here.
Festool has also put together an incredibly useful guide to advise you which dust extractor you should buy, depending on the work you’ll be carrying out. To check it out, click here.
